Public Confession of Faith

And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?" "You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?'" But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

Mark 5:25-33

“Who touched my clothes?” Ok, let’s be real for a minute, here is the Son of God who is all knowing and all powerful and is in the midst of performing many amazing miracles and yet He is asking the crowd to reveal who touched His cloak? Jesus knew who touched Him, just as He knows how He has touched your heart today with His love. Maybe it has been through the words of your pastor; maybe it has been through a loving example of His unconditional love by a friend or family member or colleague; maybe through a song or a sunset or through gazing at another piece of His glorious creation. I don’t know how or when your heart has been touched and healed by our master healer and forever friend, however, He does and guess what? He is waiting for you to fall on your knees in thanksgiving to Him as you publicly confess and give testimony to the great things that He has done in your life. For this testimony and example is what life is about and it is why you are still here on this earth, in order that you could be a living example of the risen Christ as you live out a life of love for the whole world to see. How has God touched your heart? Tell someone about your Father in Heaven today!
